Benjamin Dube - How excellent is your Name o Lord Lyrics

“How Excellent Is Your Name, O Lord” by Benjamin Dube is a short worship song that takes its words from Psalm 8. The opening chorus repeats the praise of God’s name, and the verse quotes the psalm’s reflection: “When I consider the heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars You have ordained, what is a man that You are mindful of him.”

The song then replaces “excellent” with new descriptions. The name of the Lord is called powerful and then majestic, each with its own repeated chorus, and “Halleluyah” marks the turn after the verse. The structure builds adoration by changing one word at a time while the confession stays the same.

The contrast between the vastness of creation and the smallness of a human being is close to Psalm 8:3-4 and also recalls Psalm 144:3. The song’s message is wonder that the Creator remembers and cares for people.
